The night of the 18th we camped on Lake Powell near escalante canyon. We observed blueish objects (similar to halogen or led lighting) moving in formation and hovering alone. When together they would bob and weave like insects might. To humor ourselves we shined a led lamp at them only to observe strange reactions. The objects would move eraticly and flash lights back. We saw approximately 8-10 objects this night. The 19th we saw 10-15 objects in pairs and singular. Observing multiple flashes and interactions between objects. We then shined a 1,000,000 candle light at one and it would dim from its bright blue presents and shine down a hallow light shape and light the area like a full moon. After several flashes of our light the object decended when it hit a cloud and we could seen it glow in the clouds mist then out of fear we stopped flashing our light.The activity continued for over 3 hours with constant movement and flashing. Some objects were bright and others were dim but visible. We had binaculars (10x50) and could witness the action with vivid disbelieve. Did anyone else experience this same ocurrence?
